Before there was refrigeration, ice was needed to preserve agricultural products and to keep food cold in the warmer months. Ice Festival attendees can take part in a traditional ice harvest! They’ll walk out on the frozen mill pond to help cut and maneuver blocks of ice using historic tools. The ice will be transported by sled and then packed in the Museum’s traditional ice house.</p><p>Wed, 29 Jan 2014 15:35:00 +0000Joe Donahue82666 at http://wamc.orgThe Hanford Mills Museum Ice Harvest FestivalSnow, wintry mix expected in N. new Englandhttp://wamc.org/post/snow-wintry-mix-expected-n-new-england
